Love's Emancipation

by Alison McKenzie

From the illusion
That we are separate
Eventually comes
This amazing understanding
That separation
Is never truly possible.

Today,
I gratefully
Share Love’s emancipation
From the foundation
Of my being

While I allow myself
To be fully immersed
In Love’s contribution
From every direction.

Nice write Alison, it comes right from the heart. Unfortunately I believe that hate comes from the same place.

Those last two lines are delightfully inclusive.

I have to agree with George...I think that hate comes from the same place, but with a heart like yours, it'll never live within you. Beautifully done, Ali.

We so seldom as poets look at "love's contribution" to our well- being. You did Alison and so, so splendidly.
